Southern Comfort

It’s hot here on the carp flats this time of year and the experienced southern angler knows how to be prepared. A quick stop at Bo’s on the way to the launch to carry him though the morning and a dip into the cooler to revive him when the mid-day sun cooks the top of his head. Think hummingbird nectar followed by a cool, refreshing rain.

Sustenance. Survival. Southern Comfort.

Please. Partake responsibly. Put safety above all else. Have just one and live to fish another day.

A good point, Sanders, but here's the question. Does a beer count as hydration or does the alcohol negate the fluid intake? I've always wondered but have never reached a satisfactory conclusion, despite lots of personal research.

Exactly! Although you can check out today's post on my blog (a follow up to Howard Levett's "My Fishing History" contest) and see some of the fine quality type of young ladies I was hanging around and that age...

Worth Your Time

The Flyfish Journal:Bahamacon 2017A fantastic week in images from South Andros with the TFFJ crew. Be sure to watch the video at the end, if for nothing more than the island music.

The true worth of fishing, as the experienced, sophisticated angler comes to realize, lies in the memorable contacts with people and other living creatures, scenes and places, and the living waters great and small which it provides.
